By JOSEPH SNOWE, Esq. The want of a work which should inclede all the " legends, traditions, and history" of that reost romantic and remarkable por tion of the Rhine lying between Cologne and Mainz has been long felt by the European public. It is quite true that much has been written on these subjects, in various languages ; and that a great deal has been done towards elucidating them in several forms. In so far the subject is not a new one. But still it is not less true, that the wild and wondrous legends which appertain to each par ticular castle on that immortal river—the extraordinary traditions which attach themselves to almost every spot on its shores—the spirit-stirring histories connected with its cities and towns and hamlets, through the long period when it was not alone the sole highway of central Europe, but the centre of European civilization itself, have never been gathered together as yet, nor given in any thing like au entire form to the world. The present attempt is made to supply, as far as possible, that desideratum in general literature. _ _ To those who have traversed the shores of that stream, and to those who intend to travel thither, it is believed than this book that there can be no more acceptable offering. It is fondly hoped that it will again awaken in the minds of the one the dormant beauties of the glorious scenes over which they have heretofore wandered, and fix them more firmly in their memory by connecting them with the facts of history, or the poetry of romance ; while to the others it is trusted that it will serve as a stimulant to quicken their apprehension of coming pleasure, by exciting their reason, their imagination, and their fancy. Thus recollection of the past, and anticipation of the future, will, it is presumed, be blended by it into ens harmonious whole. The pains bestowed on this production, and the time employed in its completion, entitle the Author to hope for public favour. Nothing has been left undone to secure it in a legitimate manner. The whole will be complete in a series of twenty-four Monthly Parts, forming two handsome octavo volumes. Each Part will contain two sheets of Letter-press, with beautiful Wood-engra vings from Drawings by Mr. Butler, illustrative of the Legends or the Localities. Each successive Part will also contain a double plate, forming a section of a most superior picturesque Panorama of the shores of the Rhine between the two Cities which form the termini. • Part 1 will be published on the Ist May, Price One Shilling.

A writer in the Times of Saturday—whose phraseology, by the way, savours strogly of the " hulks—declaims in the most approved style of malignity of feeling" against the " arro gance, waste," and " iniquity" of the Earl of Durham's mis sion, and anticipates absolute ruin to the finances of this empire from the expenditure which, he says, is likely to occur from " a table of twenty-two covers," and " a Polish way of living." Where this writer acquired his notions of Polish hospitality we know not. The charge may be true, or it may be false as the statement he makes that Lord Durham's salary as Ambassador at St. Petersburg was 12,0001. per annum ; but if it be correct, all that we can say is, that it is much to he lamented that no Polish nobleman visited tali country in the years 1830, 31, 32, or 33 ; the over-generous traveller might then have taken a useful lesson in economy from a Minister of that time, whose authority the writer of the article in the Times will not question, we mean the Right Hon. Sir James Robert George Graham, Bart., the present ex-Member for Cumberland, then First Lord of the Admi ralty. His table of 000 covers was ever considered a model of the strictest " equity" and economy—hateful to Ude, hut precious to Hume—and unquestionably to whatever uses his salary of 5,000/. per annum was applied, it was not to those of either " Polish" or British hospitality. The writer of the article on which we are commenting, asks, " What station has been allotted to Lord Durham, beyond that of Governor-Ge neral of the Canadas?" The answer is to be found in the Gazette, in which the Earl of Durham is appointed by her Majesty Governor-General of all the North American pro vinces, including Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Ed ward's Island, Newfoundland, as well as Upper and Lower Canada. The powers granted to his Lordship by her Majesty's Commission, will necessarily be co-ordinate with the extent and importance of this Vice-royalty. The writer in the Times then goes on to contend, that Sir J. Colborne is the proper person to be entrusted with this mission, " the seeds" of which, he says, the General " has sown"! ! We are not inclined to undervalue the judg ment with which that officer has directed the military opera tions in Canada, and suppressed this unfortunate revolt ; but we do fearlessly assert that the objects contemplated in Lord Durham's mission are of totally a different nature, and utterly unconnected with the movements of two or three regiments, or the application of military force. Lord Durham's duties will be to prevent the necessity of having recourse to those arms which the General so well knows how to wield —to heal the wounds inflicted by the sharp edge of those very arms—to bring together and reconcile con flicting factions—to provide for the protection of their mutual interests—and to establish such a permanent system of constitutional government as will satisfy the just claims of all parties. In what have the marches from Montreal to St. Charles and Grand Brule laid the foundations of, or given a promise of such re sults? The supposition is too absurd, and the only conse quence of having put forward such an assertion, for the "ma lignant" object of calumniating Lord Durham, is, that it is injurious to the Gallant Officer who is thus unfairly and un warrantably dragged into discussion. If the writer in the Times wishes for information on the subject of special mis sions, and their expenses, we recommend him to apply to Lord Stuart de Rothsay, whose experience on that point, in Lisbon and Rio Janeiro, will be of invaluable assistance to him. Lords Cowley and Strangford could also, we doubt not, supply use ful documents, and we marvel much that the Marquis of Chan dos, who has moved for the expeuses of Lord Gosford's mis sion, has omitted to include those of the noble Tories to whom we have alluded. The contrast would be instructive and edi fying.-21forning Chronicle.: We really cannot abstain from recurring to this ominous ar rangement between the Treasury and Lord Durham, whereby the noble Lord, in what relates to the financial part of his mis sion to North America, has (through the malicious contri vance of one or more of his numerous enemies in the Cabinet, no doubt) been placed in a most disagreeable position. His Lordship goes out as Governor-General, Captain-General, &c., &c., &c., of the Canadian Provinces—precisely the same titles as those which have been (so very worthily) borne by Lord Gosford. Like Lord Gosford also, the noble Lord goes out to " inquire"—simply to inquire, nothing more. Lord Gosford is said to have received a salary? we cannot answer for the fact, but presume that it will be cleared up by the papers which Lord Chandos has moved for, whether Lord Gosford as Commissioner, acting likewise as Governor- General, did or did not receive a salary of some 10,0001. a-year or so. It is our impression that he did receive such a salary --what return he has made for it is another question. But if he has been paid " his expenses"—in other words, if he has first determined how much he would spend of the public money without the slightest check on the amount, and afterwards been allowed to draw on the Exche quer for that amount, whatever sum he might himself, of his own will and pleasure, have raised it to, we shall only say, that a more improvident, reckless, and wasteful method of re munerating public servants for their trouble it would be diffi cult to conceive. The privilege granted to an individual to expend what he pleases, on the assurance that the amount will be made good to him by the public, is one utterly un known to the constitution of these realms. The whole body of Ministers, taken together, have their hands tied up by th© House of Commons. All charges are estimated, all expenses fixed, as against the Government collectively ; no such thing there as uncontrolled and unlimited draughts upon the coun try. In this case, moreover, of Lord Durham, it ought to be remembered that he is irresponsible, Under the bargain an nounced by Lord J. Russell to the House of Commons, it seems that the Noble Earl may pitch his establishment and all his incidental costs as high as Queen Victoria's Civil List, as high as ever pompous and vain-glorious arrogance or wayward caprice can soar. Now, we will venture to assert that the most arbitrary and irresponsible Governments in Eu rope make no such indefinite inroads on the resources of their subjects, and lay' in the path of individuals no such absurd temptations to extravagance at other people's peril. It will be said, that there is precedent for such a mode of reimburs ing the functionaries charged with " special missions"—no doubt. What malpractice is there for which some pre cedent may not be pleaded? But the question is, whether the results of such precedents ought to be considered by tho people of England as encouragements to imitate them, or as warnings to avoid them : much depends upon the man. W e recollect that towards the close of the French war I Lord Aberdeen was sent on a special mission to Vienna, or at least to the bead-quarters of the allied armies; but there was no ostentation or profusion in the character of that Noble Earl, and it was said at the time that his Lord ship's expenses, having been left to his own discretion, f a ll short considerably of the income which would have been assigned to him as Ambassador to the Austrian Court. The Duke of Wellington was sent on a special mission to St. Petersburgh, and his " expenses paid." On that occasion also surprise was generally expressed that the Noble Duke should have charged the country with so very moderate an outlay. His greatness was intrinsic, not superficial ; nor did the reception of the Duke of Wellington at any European Court, or the sensation produced by him, or the success of any mission wherewith he might be intrusted, depend, in his own opinion or in that of others, on his dragging about with him a caravan of between 70 or 80 consumers of the public money, he himself all the while laying claim to admiration for his dis interested refusal of a salary! But Lord Durham was also, if we don't mistake, sent on a special mission to St. Peters burgh before he was appointed resident Ambassador in Russia, and the idea has just flashed across cur brain, that we should much like to see placed in juxta-position the bill of expenses sent in by such a man as the Duke of Wellington, and that which, for a like special mission, such a man as the Earl of Durham called upon the public treasury to defray. Little difficulty, indeed, would attend the production of materials for a compa rison so interesting in itself, and so useful at the present mo ment. We repeat the expression, so " useful" now, because one might calculate with sonic nearer approach to confidence what amount of sacrifice the nation is about to make with a view to obtain the benefit of Lord Durham's services as sham dictator in North America, but real subaltern to Lord Glen elg, carrying into execution such plans and orders only as shall have been approved and issued from the Colonial Office : one might gu ess , we say, the amount of such ensuing sacrifice more easily after having laid on the table of Lords or Com mons an accurate copy of the account sent in and settled out of the Royal treasury for the former special mission of Lord Durham. The nation ought not to go to work blindfolded. If Lord Durham will not fix his price before-hand, there are hundreds of other public men ho will. Sure we are that Sir John Colborne is one of them. Sure we are that he will perform whatever duties . 'lily be re qu i re d o f hi m w i t h skill and energ y, with spit it, steadiness, and sagacity, no whit less eminent than any of which Lord Durham has ever yet afforded proof. He knows thoroughly the people, both French and English colonists, which Lord Durham does not. He can a dminister the mili tary as well as civil resources of the Canadas, which Lord Durham cannot yet have learned to do, sav e by inspiration. lie wit finish the business confided to him at a third or a fourth of the charge entailed upon the people of England by Lord Durham. He is not called upon to be a despot or a lawgiver ; nor, according to the Act of Parliament, can Lord Durham. His Commission is not a humbug, as is unques tionably that of the Earl of Durham, whom, for his own con venience, but at our cost, Lord Melbourne promotes to an ostentatious an 4 distant exile, barren of either profit, honour, or security to Great Britain.— Tinics. The Hon. Member for East Kent has obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the suppression of trading occupations on the Lord's D"Y,—or., to use the quaint words of his methodical preamble, commonly called Sunday.' On the occasion of Mr. Plumptre obtaining leave to bring in this Bill, Mr. Hall, the Member for Maryfebone, gave notice " that if it extended to interfere w i t h the recreations and amusements of the people, which in large towns particularly were so essential to the hap piness and health of the community, he should give the Bill his most decided opposition." We perfectly concur with the tenour of Mr. Hall's intimation, as also with the remarks of Mr. Warburton, "that if they were to legislate on this subject they ought to do so in an iympartial spirit. The rich could go to the country on Sundays to see their friends with out hiring any convey ance, having their own carriages to convey them. But if trading were altogether pre vented on the Sabbath, they would shut out from the middling and poorer classes an opportunity of taking part in those amusements which were absolutely necessary to their health. The Bill of Sir A. Agnew was partial in its nature and deserved to fail." Mr. P. Howard added, " that he hoped that the Bill would be adapted to the present state of society, and not attempt unnecessarily to interfere with the liberty of the subject." If all trading were unconditionally suppressed on the Sunday, it would, beyond a doubt, produce that effect. The Bill of Mr. Plumptre will be, like all former Bills upon the subject, an obnoxious and most impolitic method of drawing a still stronger line of distinction between the rich and the poor than at present exists. Can the Li. censed victuallers, for instance, be debarred from supplying the necessities of travellers, and contributing to the wants and comforts of their poorer fellow-citizens on that day ? Such an interference would be a great wrong to the general interests of commerce, as well as a great privation to the industrious classes. But it would not in the slightest degree affect the rich, who h ave t h e i r strong a l e i n the i r cellars, and their luxuri was wines in their own bins. It may be gathered from the de signation of the Bill, that it will be the signal for a new crusade against Sunday shaving and Sunday baking. The artisan must, as a reward for his toils during six days, go unshaven on the seventh, and eat his dinner cold to please the meddlesome vagaries of pious nostrum-mongers and hypocritical pliants for public support. The working man, who frequently does not get his wages till the latest hour on Saturday night, must really undergo the risk of starving on the Sunday, because the butchers' shops, which have been hitherto in the habit of sup plying him on the Sunday mornin g previous to church hours, will in future be closed against his hunger and his complaints. If justice were impartially administered between the rich and the poor, something might be said for the impartial spirit by which a proceeding, equally impolitic and impracticable, may have been imbued. But all the measures hitherto brought forward on this subject have been actuated by a spirit of mean servility to Mammon, and a contemptuous disregard for indus trious poverty. From their very nature it must be so. Gold supplies an aegis, against which all their comfort-restricting provisions are impotent— Plate vice with gold, And the strong lance of justice hurtles breaks ; Ann it with rags, a pigmy's straw doth pierce it." But this is only a single department of the question. There arc more general interests complicated with this question than shallow fanaticism permits itself to perceive. Are the great fisheries to suffer deterioration ? Are seamen arriving from foreign parts to be refused shelter and refreshment? Is the augmenting traffic on rail-roads in live and dead stock in agri cultural and commercial produce to be suspended ? But let us return to a narrower view of the matter. Will the advo cates of these restrictions, while preventing the poor from en joying the healthy recreation of travel, prevent the rich from filling with their glittering equipages the Hyde-park Corso, on the same day? Will they shut up the shops of the pastry_ cooks and fishmongers, which minister to the luxurious indul gences of the rich on that day—as well as the bakers and hairdressers, which minister to the necessities of the poor ? Will they suppress the Sunday dinners, the card par ties, and musical soirees ? 'Will they close the West_ end gambling-houses, where the rattle of the dice-box is heard on Sundays from " morn till dewy eve ?"—Sunday, say the ascetics, is and ought to be a day of rest. It is so by the Judaical dispensation ; and if we are to be abide by that, and not by the Christian, which superseded it, let the fat coach men and sleek footmen of the Aristocracy be released from all manner of work on that day. Let the scullions and the grooms rest. Let the hall porter sleep in peace, and let the army of cooks, male and female, be relieved from the broiling purgatory of their Sunday toils to stimulate the jaded appe tite of the lordly gastronome. " Fair play is a jewel." Let there be at least impartial justice between the rich and the poor—between rank and industry. The ascetic party are fond of quoting Scripture in support of their purposes. There ar' two texts which are well worthy of their re-perusal : " Woe to them who have two weights in their bag, a large and a small ! One for the rich, and the other for the poor"— " Woe to them who use the false balance of deceit ! It is an abomination unto the Lord."—Morning Advertiser. Another of those savage encounters, yclept prize fights—. which we had hoped, for the credit of our age and country, were at an end—has taken place, and ended in the immediate death of one, and in the probable death of the other of the combatants. One of these unhappy beings, thus suddenly hurried into eternity to gratify the fiendish avarice of wretches called " the fancy," was, we believe, tried at Winchester a few years back for murder under similar circumstances, and had the good fortune to escape with a punishment less than what is frequently inflicted for a trifling petty larceny. So little effect has warning upon the actors in this heartless, brutal pursuit. This disgraceful murderous scene is stated to have taken place on a common on the borders of Hertford and Cambridgeshires—counties where one would be led to suppose there were no Magistrates, were not that impossible. But as there are such persons, the public have a right to ask what they were about to suffer such a scene as this to occur within either of their jurisdictions? The public have a right, too, to ask what has been since done to bring the instigators and abettors of this brutal outrage to justice? Indeed, so scan dalous is it in all respects, that the authorities of the Hom e- Office will not have done their duty if they do not employ all the power vested in them to vindicate the laws and character of the country from a tacit submission to such a reproach as an affair like this is calculated to bring upon them.—Morning Herald. A SPECIMEN OF PRIVATE BILL LEGISLATION.—The "most extraordinary" Bill that Mr. Poulett Thomson " ever saw," became an Act of Parliament during the last session, without in the slightest degree attracting the attention of Mr. Poulett Thomson ; whose especial duty, as President of the Board of Trade, it was to have stopped it at the very threshold of the House of Commons. The measure alluded to was the Fishguard Harbour Bill; the intent of which was thus de scribed by the aforesaid President of the Board of Trade, when moving the second reading of a Bill to alter and amend it—" There was a clause in it which defined the limits of the harbour; and its extent was declared to be between certain points of the coast of Wales, and between certain points also of the coast of the county of Wexford, on the opposite side of the Channel. The Bill, besides, contained two schedules, one of which declared tolls to be payable on all vessels which should conic within the limits of the harbour, at the rate of 3d. per ton for all foreign vessels, 2d. per ton for all English vessels, and Id. per ton for all Welsh vessels ; so that, in fact, every vessel which passed through the Channel for that would be sufficient to bring it within the limits of the harbour—would become chargeaQe with this toll. He was besides informed that all goods landed on the coast of Wexford were liable to a toll of the same description, which was levied for the purposes of the harbour." For allowing this preposterous Bill to pass, Mr. Thomson said, " he took no blame to the Government; for the Government had no opportuniy of entering specially into the merits of the provisions of all Private Bills." As to " opportunity," the Government has plenty of it. Every Bill is printed, and may be examined ; but it is not expected that the Board of Trade should undertake the examination of Turnpike Bills, or others not connected with the Department of Trade. The Board ought, however, to " enter specially into the merits" of measures whose titles gives warning of in terference with the shipping and commercial interests of the country. The promoters of the Fishguard Harbour Bill did not attempt to smuggle it through Parliament—" Copies had been forwarded respectively to the Admiralty, to the Custom house, to the Trinity-house, and to other bodies; and sonic amendments had been made by the Admiralty, as well as by this House. At the same time, however, he must point out that the Admiralty would only look at the Bill in reference to matters connected with navigation, while the Trinity-house would not interfere which did not affect their own peculiar jurisdiction. No copy of the Bill was sent to the Department over which he had the honour to preside, nor were any means adopted to call his attention to the matter." This cautious abstinence of the Admiralty and the Trinity house brethren from touching what concerned them not, as they choose to pretend, reminds one of the butlers and abi gaits in a great house, who, for their lives, would not do a bit of the cook's or footman's work, because it is not " their place." The Admiralty only look at the Bill "in reference to matters connected with the navigation,"—the connexion between a tax on shippi ng an d t h e i nterests o f " nav i gat i on " not being sufficiently close to induce them to bestow particular attention on the toll-imposing clauses of the Bill. Mr. Poulett Thomson was not told to examine the measure ; so he did not trouble himself about it. But he was mistaken in as serting that no copies of the Bill were sent to his depart ment. Sir James Graham stated, without contradic tion, that "copies of the Bill were sent to the Board of Trade ; and there was even now one of those copies in the House, marked with notes made in the office of that department." This seems to dispose of Mr. Poulett Thomson's excuse that no means were taken to call his attention to the matter. These circumstances give additional weight to the old complaints of the carelessness with whieh the Legislature and the Execu tive perform their respective duties. The second reading of the measure to alter, which in this case is to repeal, the Fish guard Harbour Bill, was carried by a majority of 181 to 20. No indemnification is offered to the parties who, on the faith of a law passed only last Session, have expended large sums of money on the harbour. It has been usually supposed, that though inefficient as a debater, and a recreant from his prin ciples, Mr. Poulett Thomson was a diligent man of business in the Board of Trade : but this affair raises a suspicion of his efficiency there also, and provokes the question, how so idle as well as unimportant a person conies to have a seat in the Cabinet. —Spectator.

This handsome corn- pliment to the Radicals was delivered on Tuesday, all the R dicals, and the ultra-Radicals, excepting four—namely, • "f - William Molesworth, Mr. Leader, Mr. Grote, and Mr. den, having supported Lord Melbourne's Administrati . the vote of the preceding Thursday on Lord Sandon's r " tiers. And within six days of that decisive evidence ~Ota • determination of the Radicals to uphold the Ministry, its ,ief treats the very idea of a boon to them with contempt and Ticli 7 cule, talks of " a boon without consideration"—" a been most wantonly given because her Majesty's Government received nothing in return for it"—" a boon which, if given, would be more objectionable now, more inopportune, and less justified by prudence or sound policy than at any time he remembered since the formation of the Government." Lord Melbourne, ' of course remembering all that had passed since the formation of the Government, remembered the salvation of it on the preceding Thursday, though, perhaps, a week's memory is a long term fur a great man, and given votes may, like eatsn bread, be soon forgotten. The capercailie, or cock of the woods, shuts its eves when it crows, and the German sports men seize that moment of exultation and of blindness to ap proach and shoot him. It seems that Ministers, like the ca percailie, shut their eyes in straining a crow, and lose sight of facts it would be as well to keep in view, but we hope with out the same mortal danger, for the extinction of the race of the cock of the woods in Britain may be referable to their exposure to their enemies in ovcrcrowing them selves, and Heaven forbid that the same fate should befal the cocks of the Cabinet, and leave us a nation as much without a Government as a capercailie. But to be serious, there was a time when we should have protested earnestly against such language as we have quoted from the speech of Lord Mel bourne. There was a time when we should have apprehended the worst consequences from it. We have no such tears now ; for the Radical party have signally shown that they will look to nothing but the interests of the popular cause, and that no species of irritation can induce them to swerve from the line of action they deem advisable in the present circumstances of the country. Lord Melbourne may treat their support in any way that his feelings or his taste may dictate ; but their support, however it may be requited, he will have so long a; it may conduce to the public benefit, or prevent a public calamity. Men who are actuated by principle are not to be moved from their course by slights or wanton affronts ; for, were they so, as Bacon says, they would " make another's folly the master of their own wisdom." In supporting the present Ministry the Radicals have acted a part new in our political history, interested only inas much as they believe the people to be interested, and as the favours of the Minister have not entered into their views, they may pursue the path of public duty unmoved by his frowns. Nay, more, every affront offered to the Radicals may be re ceived by them as the best compliment to their inflexible at tachment to principle; for the affront would not be hazarded were it not believed that the sense of what was due to the public would prevail against feeling of pique or personal re sentment. We only notice the quoted speech of Lord Mel-. bourne to show that the principled conduct of the Radicals rises superior to it, and the best practical reply to it will be another great demonstration of Radical support—a hearty union of Whig and Radical in resistance to Lord Eliot's at tack on the foreign policy of the Ministry. Lord Melbourne is the stag in the fable, that admired the honours of his head, and bewailed and disparaged the legs that supported him and carried him through his dangers ; for, after all, his Lordship has to note that the Radicals (all who vote for the ballot coming under that denomination) are the great majority of his party, and upwards of 200 strong. It has been suggested that in his mention of the Radicals, Lord Melbourne may have al luded to the Ultras who made the attack upon his Ministry on the sth ; but this, we are sorry to say, does not appear to be possible; for, besides the fact that the Prime Minister could hardly have thought it worth while to allude to the hostility of Sir William Molesworth and Mr. Leader, and the desertion of Mr. Grote and Mr. Fielder!, it is to be observed that his Lordship's reply was to the taunt, that the reduction of the yeomanry was the return for the support he had received from the Radical party, and the Radical party of w hi c h h e s p o ke art his answer, must be concluded to be the same Radical party as Lord Winchilsea referred to in his attack. But supposing there was a looseness in Lord Melbourne's speech, and that when he spoke contemptuously of Radicals, he meant the Ultra or Tory-Radicals ; yet, we must ask, in that case, whether a chief may not be considered bound, at least in courtesy, to remember the denomination of his sup porters, and to avoid confounding his friends with his foes, especially when his friends are most anxious to mark the distinction between their views and those of the intemperate little section at variance with them. In Mar ryat's Peter Simple we read of a lordly captain who could not condescend to remember the name of any officer or of any thing belonging to his ship, and who used to order Mr. Thingumbob to what-ye-call-it the thingummy—an order which was sufficiently clearly understood to signify the per formance of any manoeuvre necessary at the moment. Now if Lord Melbourne, like this captain, not deigning to remember proper names, had talked of the What-ye-call-it party, or the Thingumbobs, or Thingummy support, he might have been understood to mean the three or four Ultras oho have de serted him, but he has adopted a less intelligible description —because a specific misdescription—if he really intended tee refer to those worthies. —Examiner. TILE ACTUAL POSITION OF PaßTies.—The present position of the Government is curious and critical, and every man is hazarding a conjecture upon its fate. With a precarious ma jority in the Commons—indeed, apart from its officials, ac tually in a minority—with a House of Lords assuming an atti tude of the most uncompromising hostility, and a Court without experience or settled opinions, it is palpable to the most ordinary observer that the Melbourne Ministry must quickly fall, unless a most decided change of policy is adopted. It is not merely in numerical array that the Go vernment is feeble ; it is decidedly overweighted and borne down by the mental power of its adversaries. In neither House can couples be thrown off in which the contrast is not oppressively adverse. At home or abroad— in the Cabinet or the camp—in finance or in the co lonies, we find men of practised superiority, and reso lute to maintain systems of administration, which as parts of a vast Conservative scheme of authority, they re gard as essential to an aristocratic form of Government. And yet with all these appliances in their favour, the Tories would be as dust in the balance, were the Whigs true to the people and to themselves ; for notwithstanding the loud pretensions wnich arc put forth by the Charlton Conservatives, and the. acknowledged. skill and experience of their chiefs, •this party is a conceited confederacy of titled vanity and ex-official dog matists, cheered on and inflated by the eloquent blusterings of a few aspirants, who either have much to keep and hope, or nothing to lose. Apart from these auxiliaries, who, it must be admitted, act their part in Parliament and in the:press with considerable dexterity, the main body of this frightful force is made up of bloated merchants and country folks of every degree, from the first-born of a Plantagenet to the last-born of a purse-proud Plebeian. In the House of Commons the Op position musters night after night with the fidelity of warders ; there is no disobedience of orders ; not a murmur nor a sound is heard, save when it bursts forth in the fierce yell of disdain, or the exultation of anticipated triumph. But the sacri fices which arc thus made by old men of their comforts, and by young men of their pleasures, cannot and will not long be encountered, and this their leaders know full well. Hence the attack upon O'Connell, and the more recent, but less successful rush at the Treasury Bench, upon Sir William Molesworth's ill-advised motion, and which may serve for a short time to sustain their spirits, and as a foretaste of better things to come. It is currently circulated yin the Tory camp, that success on the last-mentioned occasion was not desired ; the object being to define deep and impassable lines between themselves and the Radical Reformers on the one hand, and to cherish a sentiment of the deadliest hostility towards their more immediate rivals. And it must be admitted, that the course pursued was well adapted to the attain ment of both these ends. It was as insulting to the princi ples of the Radical Reformers, as to the persons of the Whig Government, and read a lesson to both of the greatest value. We have not been tardy in the expression of our decided re probation of the timid, truckling, policy of the Government, at the same time that we have deplored it; and being ever more prone to trace the beams of hope which at whatever dis tance, may glimmer before us, than to veil our course in de spair, we have derived no slight comfort from the conduct of the Conservatives, in the belief that the Queen's Cabinet must be prepared either to resign, or to adopt a bolder, clearer, safer, and more intelligible system of Government. lf, indeed, as some insinuate, they are conscientiously averse to any further advance in the career of national improve ment, let them so say, and we may respect though we shall repudiate their scruples ; but they then must retire that abler men may advance. It is impossible that the affairs of this great country can be allowed to stand still, and that from the imbecility of its rulers. With the world in motion, even the stillness of stability is scarcely to be desired, hut when every thing about us is pulled to pieces, with a view to reconstruction, if we find the gang of wurkmen in competent, or unwilling to finish the work, other hands must be called in, both able and willing to build up and per fect the original design. But we own that no just necessity for this searching turn-out presents itself to our minds. Now that the Conservatives have opened their policy, which is that of the most unrestrained hostility to improvement, the two great sections of Whigs and Liberals should approximate, and by a course of well-matured concessions, establish an union of persons and principles, which could not fail to realize all the great ends of all good government,—the happiness and well-being of the people. Unless something of this sort is effected, the people will subside for a time into sullen indiffer ence ; the Radical party will be suspected, the Whigs de spised, and the Tories will tyrannize over all to their heart's content. Then will follow a series of movements, desperate in their objects, and the reaction kill be dreadful.— Weekly True Sun. DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—About half-past nine on Saturday morning the greatest alarm prevailed in Water lane, Fleet -street, in consequence of an extensive fire having broke out in the hay-lofts of Mr. Gray, Bolt in.
